HARDCOVER
Preaching that faithfully explains the text but fails to press for obedience has left Christ’s assignment unfinished.
Drawing from Jesus’ own preaching, especially his sobering conclusion to the Sermon on the Mount, Mike Fabarez reminds preachers that the ultimate measure of a sermon is not clarity alone but impact. Biblical preaching must aim beyond explanation to transformation.
Sinners in the Hands of a Good God is David Clotfelter's reasoned and personal inquiry into the nature of divine justice. Writing out of his own intense struggle to accept the Bible's portrait of a just but loving God, Dr. Clotfelter examines biblical teachings on God's attitude toward sin, his plan to punish the guilty forever, the relationship between grace and faith, the meaning of Christ's death, the change in status that occurs when we believe, and God's original purposes in creation.
As a pastor, radio host, and teacher of God’s Word, Mike Fabarez has spent decades answering tough, sincere, and sometimes surprising questions from people who want real biblical answers—not opinions, theories, or spiritual clichés.
In this first volume of the Ask Pastor Mike series, you’ll find fifty of the most common and important questions Christians are asking today, along with responses that are rooted in Scripture and shaped by pastoral clarity. With a warm but uncompromising tone, Pastor Mike tackles everything from theology and end-times to personal relationships and church life.

Prayer is not a chore or a last-ditch response to crisis, but a God-given means of knowing him, trusting his purposes, and learning dependence on him in every season of life.
Prayer stands at the center of the Christian life, yet many believers struggle to understand how it works, why God sometimes seems silent, and how the Bible should shape what we say to God when we pray.
Teach Us to Pray provides clear, biblical guidance that helps believers cultivate a steady, faithful practice of prayer in every season of life.

In 2013, Compass Bible Church (Aliso Viejo, CA) put on an Equipped Conference titled “Making the Big Church Small” because the pastoral staff sensed a need to train people to engage in small groups faithfully and effectively.
Ten years and five church plants later, our goal with this book remains much the same—to equip Christians with a practical guide for engaging in small groups.
Nothing is of more fundamental importance for every person on the planet than our need to get right with God. And while our Creator has revealed and reiterated his reconciling message on page after page of the Bible, many have opted for a popularized, truncated, sound-bite version of the gospel. In Getting It Right Mike Fabarez goes back to the Bible and thoughtfully walks us step-by-step through each major component of the gospel message.

The headlines are clear. The data is mounting. Reality is setting in. Men are at a crisis point, and the effects are felt in our society. Strong men make for good times, but weak men make for difficult times. And if we’re honest, we have to admit that many men today are generally in a place of weakness.
There is no shortage of advice or proposed solutions for a path forward. But much of it is based in self-help, external improvements, and pseudo-masculinity. These kinds of things don't transform men. We don't need posturing, pride, or resignation. We need men who are transformed from the inside out. We need boys and young men who understand true manhood, and men who embrace the call to be men of God.
In Strong in the Lord, Jeremy Kimble maps out a path for men to follow toward genuine, godly masculinity. Clear, compelling, and applicable, this book equips men to lead, love, protect, and provide in the home, church, and society. As men embrace the call of biblical manhood, families, churches, and institutions will stand firm and thrive for the glory of God.
